Drawn by beautiful beaches, breathtaking scenery and the laid back lifestyle associated with the islands, tourist flock to the beautiful islandof Mauiwith hopes of having the perfect holiday. Hawaiihas a lot to offer indeed, but to make the best out the holiday, one must carefully consider and plan ahead the various options regarding transportation. There are four main means of transportation on the island; public transportation, car rental, taxi service and Airport Shuttle in Maui.
Each year several million tourists flock to Hawaii, a lot of which wind up in arguably its most famous island,Maui. Of these millions, the overwhelming majority arrive by long haul intercontinental flights. This is something that is not to underestimate. People often forget that there are three hours of difference between Los Angeles and Hawaii and that flights can take several hours and often land in the middle of the night. So for tired and jetlagged tourists, just arriving in the middle of the night in a place they don’t know (all the while overburdened by luggage) can be a massive undertaking. A car rental is definitely not the best option.
Car rental is a valid option to get around for the duration of the holiday due to the fact that it is cheaper than getting taxi and provides more comfort and practicality than public transportation. However renting a car is not without its drawbacks and headaches. One has to fill out and pay for insurance (all of which can be tedious and time consuming if someone just arrived) and tourists under 25 or with new driving licenses might be restricted from renting or might have to pay an over fee. Another headache is learning to navigate around the island and finding the hotel. Finding parking can also be stressful in certain areas and gas is not cheap in Hawaii. Public transportation is well kept but rather expensive and generally not suited for travelers with luggage.
The best option is to book a Airport Shuttle in Maui in advance. For instance, VIP Trans Maui offers the option of booking online in advance so that when arriving at the airport tourists have a shuttle waiting for them to take them and all their luggage to the hotel straight away, without having to worry about rental bureaucracy, cramped taxi’s and trying to locate one’s destination on the map.
